Guaraldi

please note these will be built fresh once your order is placed. expect ship time within 5-10 days of order.

This unit is dedicated to the wonderful Vince Guaraldi- the composer for the wonderful peanuts comics.

This fuzz takes you to a very warm and nostalgic place- a feeling like a hazy memory of cozy Christmas with the gentle lights and snowy, quiet atmosphere.

This pedal is a modified variant of the Sam Ash Fuzz Stainar, a very rare and unique sounding fuzz unit.

This circuit has a unique, very vintage flavor to it, with an amazing range of gain that goes from light, surprisingly overdrive like grit, to full on vintage fuzz face like fuzz, and everything in between.

It is a unique sound completely on its own.

the controls from left to right

top row

volume- middle is just about unity, there is a bit of extra headroom for volume boost and/or to really push an amp.

fuzz- strikingly beautiful range of gain- I am infatuated with the lower gain sounds of this circuit.

bottom row

tone- left is a bass full fuzz that does not cut high end like many other fuzz tone controls. Dial it forward for a bass cut and an emphasis on the high end without sounding brutally shrill.

bias- gated and bloomy textures live here. turned left the fuzz becomes a trumpet emulator, with interesting gate and decay dynamics. turned to the right the fuzz becomes properly biased with the classic and more natural decay, response, and texture.

please message me if you'd like to include an internal battery snap and holder. if you do not message me they automatically ship without one, only powered via center negative 9 volts. all midnight coast units can be daisy chained unless specifically stated.

all midnight coast electro stomp boxes are handmade to my highest possible standards. all finishes are powder coated by me, there may be some small variances from unit to unit. same goes with component choices- each unit may have some small variances, but rest assured only the best quality components are used with midnight coast stomp boxes.
